Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Calabi Yau (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brad Nelson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Yau kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Death Walks Behind You. Nelson is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Black Flood Diesel - Lost Cause. This should be fireworks!
